Use of Simple Linear Regression Analysis Assumes That

Use of simple linear regression analysis assumes that:

A) variations around the line are nonrandom.
B) deviations around the line are normally distributed.
C) predictions can easily be made beyond the range of observed values of the predictor variable.
D) all possible predictor variables are included in the model.
E) the variance of error terms (deviations) varies directly with the predictor variable.
